Amy Winehouse's 'Second Dad' Paints Portraits of the Singer [EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS]

The jazz club owner and realist painter, who has been friends with the singer for more than a decade, shares his memory of their friendship and what he thinks of the singer's drugged-up ex.

Sam Shaker, the 72-year-old jazz club owner who the late singer calls her "second dad," has spoken out about his devastation with Winehouse's death and what he thinks caused it. Shaker owns a jazz club called "Jazz After Dark," which walls are filled with realistic paintings of the singer. According to Shaker, Winehouse sang frequently in his jazz club and her tragic death is a distraught to the music industry. Shaker also shared that Winehouse's death was caused by nothing else than her relationship with ex Blake Fielder-Civil, who introduced her to a life riddled with drug use and alcoholism.

"She was suffering from a disease - and the name of that disease was Blake. It's a killer disease," says Shaker in a post by The Sun. "She loved Blake. She adored him. He was the love of her life but he was the most disgusting person I've ever seen." adds Shaker in the same report. "He would stay with her one minute, then go with another girl. He was the one who introduced her to drugs. He's a criminal." continues Shaker, condemning Fielder-Civil for the singer's untimely death. Shaker also went on to describe how appalled he is whenever the singer would ask to commission a painting showing Fielder-Civil. "He didn't deserve a girl like Amy. It made me feel sick to paint his face. He didn't deserve all the time I took to paint his picture" says Shaker in the same tell-all report.

Shaker, who treated Winehouse as a second daughter, told about how people judged him in the past for putting up paintings of the singer in his jazz club. "Before Amy died, people called her names and they would ask me why I had so many paintings of her. They would say, 'She's a junkie. Why do you put a junkie on the walls?', claims Shaker in the interview. Sam went on describing how people who came in his club stole some of the paintings, leaving a couple of blank spaces on the walls. "Nobody liked Amy. They focused on her drug addiction. Now they want to steal Amy," adds Shaker. Shaker adds that one of the stolen paintings were of he singer and her goddaughter Dionne Broomfield.

Fearing that his valuable Winehouse paintings are "not safe" in his London Jazz Club, he now asks for someone to sponsor an exhibit to showcase the creations where they can be secure and manned 24/7. "The paintings are not for sale, they have never been for sale. But they are on show for everyone to see. They are not my paintings, they are Amy's. I never made any money from them. But now we have had some stolen, I realise it is not safe here." pleas Shaker.
